“This is the biggest project I have worked on and I have seen a very organized operation that mobilizes more than 1,000 workers,” said Chelston Juarez of Local 205.
The KMLRCC is proud to be working with and associated with general contractor DPR to make this project possible for so many union brothers and sisters.
“DPR has been really good for the union in providing the jobs and training,” said Dave Seleeby who is a shop steward for the project. “Their concerns about safety and their willingness to help workers rise in their skill levels is really refreshing”.
“DPR is proud of our collaboration with the Carpenters. Together we have established a safety conscious, well trained, and productive workforce,” Commented DPR Project Manager Kevin Cook. “Through our collaboration working on the Facebook project, we are proving that our workers are the best in the industry and able to meet the demands of even our largest clients.”
The fact that Facebook hired local and hired union is a huge victory for our Virginia members. Since 1949, Virginia has been a right-to-work state which has made it dif cult to organize.
